It’s a sad day today that Kenya woke up to read in the newspapers of the chilling deaths of 4 innocent Kenyans who were going about their normal life of hustling just as they have always done since they attained maturity. The 4 lost their lives under a hail of bullets from Kenyan Police Officers after a supposed tip-off that they were members of the infamous and outlawed Mungiki Sect.
But contrary to the police reports, the four were genuine matatu operators who were waiting for passengers to board the matatus at the terminus before embarking on the journey to
The residents of Githurai who were visibly shaken by the Extra Judicial killings took to the streets protesting the deaths of the innocent 4 who were known to the residents as law abiding Kenyans.
Is this the same police force that has been defended so vehemently by the official police spokesman as being above reproach? Is it the same force that the common mwananchi is supposed to depend on for his/her security?
The force has more rogue officers that shoot at the slightest provocation as opposed to a mere 0.5% who work strictly according to the police code of conduct and ethics. Hence the need for a complete change of government that would include fresh uncorrupted faces in the police high command in order to effect a change in mentality and attitude that has for so long eluded the force.
Alfred Ngaga Mutua, comic of the decade. Alfred or Ngaga as we knew him in the neighborhood where we grew up has earned himself the reputation of blunderer of the decade as he pulls one shenanigan after another. Alfred looks at issues in a way that only he and his masters can. He sings the masters tunes and continues singing way after the master has stopped.
It was simply hilarious to see the adverts announcing a 90% progress rating of the grand coalition government adorning complete pages in our dailies thanks to Alfred and his knack of misusing public funds. Question is who monitors the funds used in Alfred’s department against misuse? Where does he get the audacity to suggest the above stated rating and under what context? Somebody ought to get the man a teaching job where he is bound to do more good, lecturing on literature and maybe launch a new subject in the schools curriculum, “how to be a top comic”.
This makes the entire government a laughing stock in the region and to our bilateral partners when the above mentioned individual does his thing as he is bound to all the time. We need to effect a serious change in government and get our priorities right while we are at it.
